Abstract: A significant amount of global attention has been drawn to the “Global South”. This paper analyzes the meaning of the “Global South”, explores its rise and strategic effects, and points out that the “Global South” has strong economic strength and global influence and the influence of its political stance cannot be ignored. The rise of the “Global South” has brought about new trends in the great power competition: the “Global South” participates in the global competition with an independent attitude and a stance of noalliance and not taking sides; the United States and the West actively compete for a say over and cooperation with the “Global South”, with strong antiRussian and antiChinese sentiments; and Russia seeks to have an edge in the “Global South” and promote the adjustment of its strategic focus. In view of this, China should reexamine its relationship with the “Global South”, clearly declare that China is a member of the “Global South” and provides important support for the “Global South”, actively respond to the malicious smears and irrational divisions from the United States and the West, deepen its understanding of the “Global South”, think about pathways to strengthen cooperation with the “Global South” from a strategic perspective, and adopt the idea of the “Global South” as the strategic pillar of Chinas diplomacy to carry out toplevel design and strategic management.

Key words: the “Global South”, the United States and the West, great power competition, Chinas diplomacy, discourse power

摘要： “全球南方”正在成为全球关注的主角，本文剖析“全球南方”的含义，探究“全球南方”兴起进程及其战略效应，指出“全球南方”有着雄厚的经济实力和世界影响力，其政治立场的影响不容忽视。“全球南方”的兴起使得大国博弈呈现新态势：“全球南方”以独立自主的姿态、不结盟和不选边站队的立场参与全球博弈；美西方积极争夺“全球南方”的话语权和合作权，反俄排华意识形态浓厚；俄罗斯则紧紧抓住“全球南方”，推动其战略重心的调整。有鉴于此，中国应重新审视中国与“全球南方”的关系，明确宣告中国属于“全球南方”，是“全球南方”的重要依靠，积极应对美西方的恶意抹黑和无理区隔，深化对“全球南方”的认知，从战略高度思考深化与“全球南方”合作的路径，把“全球南方”作为中国外交战略支柱来进行顶层设计和战略经营。
